This is not the first time Yadav has made such a sexist comment. In 2015, he stired a controversy for his ”dark skinned” women comment. The then Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani countered him and requested that he should not talk about the colour of the skin of women at all. In response to which he said, “What have I said, ‘saanvli’ (dark complexioned) women are more in number in India, they are more in number the world over. I am ready to debate with anyone on the struggle of Ram Manohar Lohia and others for them”

How will India progress if the leaders themselves have such regressive views. The blalant sexism among the ‘netas’ in India is pulling India into underdevelopment. The development of Indian does not only depend on the GDP of the country or the economic conditions but also how the people treat each other.
